Press statement in response to CMA provisional decision

A HCA spokesman said;

"London offers an open, accessible and competitive market for private healthcare providers. Over the past six years it has continued to grow and diversify, with existing players expanding and new entrants investing in the opportunities the capital has to offer.

"HCA welcomes the CMA's recognition that the competitive landscape in London will continue to evolve and we will engage with the CMA for the remainder of the consultation process."
